CAF receives prize for internationalization of Guarantee Seal
- The winners of the third annual Valencia Port Foundation prizes were announced in Spain.
- The prizes will be presented on October 28 in the Auditorium of the new building of the Valencia Port Authority.
CAF President & CEO Enrique García thanked the Foundation for the special prize awarded by the jury. "We are convinced that a process of sustainable development depends, among other factors, on achieving high levels of international competitiveness, which is not possible if port services do not have the required quality." García added, “it is precisely by means of the Guarantee Mark that the provision of these services can be optimized."
The multilateral financial organization works in favor of the internationalization of the Guarantee Seal through the Latin American Port Quality Association, set up in April 2007 by CAF, the Guarantee Seal Foundation, a dependency of the Generalitat de Valencia, and Valenciaport Foundation.
